Warm tracksuits are very popular in Russia, and it is not surprising - severe Russian winters repel any desire to look glamorous. In January, even the most avid fashionistas put aside miniskirts and high-heeled boots, put on thick pants and jackets. As for people who are actively involved in sports, warm tracksuits form the basis of their wardrobe: skiers, snowboarders and just lovers of long walks in the snowy forest have long appreciated the many advantages of this type of clothing.
What to look for when buying?
Looking at the store warm tracksuits, hung in neat rows, it should be remembered that this item has special requirements. It should be as convenient as possible, not hamper your movements, provide you with complete comfort and not let you freeze even in the most severe frosts. First of all, you should ask yourself a question about what, in fact, is planned to be done this winter. This is very important, because warm tracksuits can vary in cut and price depending on their purpose.
Walks
Walking kits usually consist of a jacket of pants. The first must be long enough to cover the lower back. Ideally, knitted cuffs will be sewn on the sleeves - they will protect your hands from the piercing wind. Many modern models are equipped with a kind of climate control that does not allow the owner to overheat, for example, when traveling in public transport. Another point that you should pay attention to is small details like deep fastening pockets, a stitched hood that protects your head from snow. An important lining is also important, which simultaneously removes moisture and warms.
Leisure
A warm three-piece tracksuit is ideal for skiing (both mountain and cross-country). It’s good if lining is sewn on your knees and elbows - this will extend the service life of your clothes by several times. Be sure to check how the “slider” zips open, whether it is possible to unfasten directly with gloves. This is very important, because on a mountain blown by all the winds, you are unlikely to want to release your hands for a long time in order to perform some minor action. Carefully inspect the seams: high-quality tracksuits are warm (photos can be viewed in specialized magazines) glued at the seams from the inside with a special braid - this is also done to prevent you from freezing.
Filler
Now about the filler. If you take a suit and at the same time firmly know that you will use it two or three times during the winter, you can safely choose the synthetic winterizer - it is practical, convenient and not too expensive. The only drawback of syntepon is its fear of water. After a couple of washes, pants and a jacket will lose their qualities. Therefore, if you plan to wear a suit often, we recommend that you take a closer look at the new generation of hypoallergenic heaters - 3M Thinsulate, Polartec 300, etc. They tolerate washing and allow the skin to breathe.
